I had a conversation with a referree about it and was just wondering what the call is. Thanks in advance for your time.


Also, someone tried to tell me once that it could reset on the referee's discretion on shot fakes. Is that true?
Three seconds requires team control in the Front Court. There is no Team Control during a shot so the count would end every time Team Control is lost. A new count would start when Team control was established again in the Front Court (offensive rebound).

If a player dribbles in or moves immediately to try for goal, the count is suspended. If the player ceases to try for goal, the count is picked up where it was suspended.
